Android Color, simple Code but not working! Code Challenge task 2/3

Code Challenge: Now add an item element to the style that sets the text color of the button to blue. Hint: Use android:textColor as the attribute name and #0000ff as the hex code for blue.

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

  <style name = "RibbitButton" >
    <item name = "android:textColor">   #0000ff  </item>
  </style>
</resources>

What did I do wrong here? Keeps telling me to start the color with a "#". Its already there.
